Amy Winehouse no-show at Brighton gig

Talented soul singer Amy Winehouse failed to turn up at a gig in Brighton tonight.

But fans of the drug-fuelled diva were not left disappointed - she had only reserved tickets on a guestlist and was not set to perform.

Earlier this evening she had called the Concorde 2 in Madeira Drive after hearing that her heroes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, were due to perform there.

But although the talented soulsters duly appeared, only Amy Winehouse's name did - on a guestlist with space for four friends.

But to the sell-out crowd of unsuspecting revellers, nothing was amiss as they enjoyed an amazing performance from the soul legends on stage.

If she had made it to the gig, it is unclear whether Amy Winehouse would have got to perform with Martha and her fellow Mowtowners. But it would have been a legendary meeting of minds worthy of the Concorde 2's stage.

For a full review of the concert, see Wednesday's Argus

That would have been great to see Amy onstage with Martha and the Vandellas

"That would have been great to see Amy onstage with Martha and the Vandellas"

Aww.....or even for her just to see them. Them, and Tony Bennett at the Grammys.

I live in Brighton and found this in my local paper. Funny how they made this into a news item, it's really a non-story...but anything Amy is newsworthy it seems

She placed the call to make the arrangements, then didn't show. She's doesn't seem to be capable of making decisions at the moment. Considering the last two days behavior, it's probably for the best. It's been a hell of a week for our girl. I like to think she was with Remi Nicole. That girl seems to have a calming influence on her.

Looks like she was partying with Sadie Frost, here is the story:
